Not that I've ever heard of! Maybe large electro-magnets for an extended period. I can't imagine the doll would have those!

If they do not close then does it matter if they move side to side or up and down.

Personal opinion: closing eyes would be a lot more trouble than they're worth. I would not care for them.

placeboy wrote: 3rd the Back/Body Does it matter that he bends at the waist? Does it matter if he bends side to side?

Again, it would not matter to me. I'd rather have a less costly, sturdy guy.

Same opinion as bending at the waist. Better to have a strong head and body than movement (which could cause mechanical problems/breakage).

I would personally love oral! However, a beautiful, non-b.j. face is better than one of those functional ones with the horrid "oh" expression.

Best of luck with the maquette! I would love to see it.

Hi,
I don't know if this thread is dead or not, but In case the original poster is still subscribing / checking it: I think the sketch looks great. I am interested in a torso for a reasonable price, 1k or less would be fantastic. I am looking for something for me and my fiance to use. We are late 20s, so a younger face wouldn't suit our needs. Something youthful is ok, but I am thinking mid 20s to mid 30s. The body is good though. My personal taste would be fit, but not body builder fit. Without a head would be fine for me, if you had this option for less money, I would opt for it. Options for penis size are important, as she would prefer something in a medium size, 7 or 8 inches. I hope this works out, and that you find a market for it.

Almost finished with the maquette, as far as cost goes I think it may be a little more than a grand. But I also may just sell the head separately to cut cost. Most of the cost is the plastic and internal parts. the silicone is expensive but I'm trying see if there is something I can use for the insides to cut cost and weight. I am still going to try this out.

I won't be doing the whole give me your money to reserve your spot. I know I'm a good enough artist (I sculpt better than I draw) to get people interested in the product. I'm hoping more people respond to this thread so I know in fact that it is worth while. I have also looked into the full doll. Arms legs and all. The cost is really the internal workings for the doll. I'll let the other companies worry about that for now. My start up cost is all on my own. I won't be fishing for out side money from you guys. I have a stable job for the next three years at least.

I got some cool ideas for just the torso. I've also looked into the easy cleaning and have two ideas so we'll see how that works out on the maquette after molded and reproduced in silicone. I will be using platinum silicone. Just cause that's what I'm comfortable with.

I still have to speak to a lawyer about covering my ass. I'm hoping to knock some socks off but we will see.

I love the concept image! I'd prefer the arms to end at the elbow, or even maybe have a full-length arm option, but that's just my opinion. Good luck with your project!!!

This sounds fine. Have you thought about Latex to lower the cost? Just curious.

A quick update. Though I'm past this stage, I did say I was going to post in progress pics of the maquette. I will be using Plasticine to sculpt the actual Torso. I find I can get better detail and have less trouble if I sculpt smaller things with super sculpey. As I type I have order about $150 dollars worth of plasticine and $50 in pink sculpting foam. I have already figured out the skeleton. that was my 1rst step. I still haven't found anything for a head base and connector.

Anyway if you have questions just ask.

LOVE IT, though maybe a more Westernized face version would entice to buy

Hey Placeboy!

Anymore news on the torso development? It is exciting to see where you are since your last post! Make the dream real! Can't wait to see how he's coming along! By the way, I really like the face you drew for him! Very cool!
